You're just upset that there are no Democrat rapists/ felons to lie in defense of, for which I cited a mountain of evidence.
Get back to me when you have one single shred actual evidence against Trump.

The Chicago Police Department released a statement concerning “a cast member of the television show, Empire” regarding an assault and battery incident.
According to TMZ:

Sources via ThatGrapeJuice.net also claim the Empire actor recently received a threatening letter in the mail with “You will die black ***,” written in disturbing ransom-style cutout letters.

TMZ confirmed Smollett received treatment at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and has since been released. He is currently in good condition.

So once again you're spreading propaganda, while ignoring huge abuses of power by Obama and the Deep State.

Chicago police said Thursday evening that reports about the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett being a hoax were "unconfirmed by case detectives."

Anthony Guglielmi, the chief communications officer for the Chicago Police Department (CPD), tweeted that “media reports anout [sic] the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives.”

He also wrote that Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson “has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate.”

Guglielmi’s tweet followed a report on the matter from WLS-TV. The report came hours after Guglielmi tweeted that Chicago police detectives had identified persons of interest in the case.

The individuals were not identified.

“Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of ‘Empire,’” WLS-TV reported.

Following the WLS-TV report, 20th Century Fox Television, which produces "Empire," and Fox Entertainment released a statement.

“The idea that Jussie Smollett has been, or would be, written off of EMPIRE is patently ridiculous,” the statement said.

“He remains a core player on this very successful series and we continue to stand behind him.”

Tom Barrack Apologizes After Saying Criticism of Khashoggi Murder Is a ‘Mistake’

Tom Barrack, the investor who grew to national prominence through his vocal defenses of Donald Trump, now finds himself in an uproar of his own making.

The president’s longtime friend drew swift rebukes in Washington this week by declaring it a mistake to judge Saudi Arabia for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist dismembered inside one of the kingdom’s consulates last year. Barrack, who often appears on television to counter criticism of Trump’s statements and policies, quickly apologized for his own words.

Khashoggi’s murder “was atrocious and is inexcusable,” Barrack, the head of investment firm Colony Capital Inc., said Wednesday in an emailed statement. “I apologize for not making it clear at the time that I consider the killing reprehensible.”

Speaking in the Middle East on Tuesday, Barrack had said that “whatever happened in Saudi Arabia, the atrocities in America are equal or worse to the atrocities in Saudi Arabia.”

“The atrocities in any autocratic country are dictated by the rule of law,” he said at a Milken Institute summit in Abu Dhabi. “So for us to dictate what we think is the moral code there when we have a young man and a regime that’s trying to push themselves into 2030 I think is a mistake.”

November 2014: In the days after President Barack Obama unveiled his plans to use executive power to unilaterally change immigration policy, “Fox & Friends” consulted Donald J. Trump for his opinion.

The hosts asked, What should the Republicans do about it? Should Obama be impeached?

Trump said that Obama couldn’t make a deal — and so “now he has to use executive action, and this is a very, very dangerous thing that should be overridden easily by the Supreme Court.”

He added: “We’re looking now at a situation that should absolutely not pass muster in terms of constitutionality” and argued that Obama “certainly could be impeached” for it.

Speaking on a Republican Governors Association panel in 2014, Pence attacked the idea of using presidential powers to act unilaterally in the face of congressional opposition.

The then governor of Indiana said that "barnstorming around the country defending" such measures was "not leadership."

Leadership, he argued, came with negotiating and finding "common ground."

Pence said Obama's order was a "profound mistake" and said he didn't believe that the president should be able to "overturn American immigration law with the stroke of a pen."

All of Robert Mueller’s indictments and plea deals in the Russia investigation so far.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has indicted or gotten guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies that we know of — the latest being longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone.

That group is composed of six former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer.

Seven of these people (including five of the six former Trump advisers) have pleaded guilty.

Chicago police have arrested two men in the the Jan. 29 attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.

A spokesperson told The Associated Press they were arrested on “probable cause that they may have committed a crime.”

Authorities did not specify what crime exactly, and the men have not been charged, per AP.

Anthony Guglielmi, chief communications officer for the Chicago Police Department, conveyed to AP cops are viewing them as suspects in the Smollett case.

Guglielmi reiterated to USA TODAY in an emailed statement Friday he does not believe the attack was a hoax.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the attack on Empire actor Jussie Smollett.

Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, who are brothers from Nigeria, are likely to be charged with battery, according to TMZ.

Police raided the brothers’ home on Thursday, where they found several bottles of bleach.

History Uncovered: Secret Letter Shows How U.S. Vice President Got Saudi Payoff For Anti-Israel Views

Former U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew congratulated an Arab leader for declaring a holy war against Israel and promised to help him influence President Ronald Reagan in a letter asking for millions of dollars to be funneled into a secret bank account for his use, according to a previously-unseen letter obtained by Lead Stories. (Read the full letter below)

Agnew praised Saudi Crown Prince Fahd bin Abdul Aziz for his "clear and courageous call to Jihad" in August 1980, which was a response to Israel declaring Jerusalem as its capital days earlier.

"My congratulations to Your Highness on the clear and courageous call to Jihad," Agnew wrote. "The action of the Israel Knesset on Jerusalem had to be the final provocation. Your Highnesses affirmative action stirred the world."

It's no historical secret that Agnew, who likely would have become the U.S. president had he not resigned as vice president in a kickback scandal in 1973, earned commissions for helping American businesses land Saudi contracts in the mid-1970s, but letters found in Agnew's private papers by collector Gregg Schneider reveal how he used anti-Israeli sentiment for profit.

Agnew told Prince Fahd, who was running Saudi Arabia at the time and would become king two years later, "the Zionists" forced him from the vice presidency because they feared he would succeed Richard Nixon, who resigned the presidency in August 1974 amid the Watergate scandal.

Agnew said U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson told him about the Jewish conspiracy "to drive me out."

"He said that I could not be trusted to act properly in the middle east -- meaning the October war, which was raging at the time.

Nixon was helpless at the time cause of his own Watergate problem, which I was not involved in.

Therefore, I was framed and driven from office.

The reason was that the Zionists in the United States knew that I would never agree to the continuance of the unfair and disastrous favoring of Israel and they had to get me out of there so I would not succeed Nixon - who they knew would be forced out also."

Agnew pleaded for immediate financial help from the Saudi Royal family, complaining that "Zionists have orchestrated a well-organized attack" that "bleed me of my resources to continue my effort to inform the American people of their control of the media and other influential secotors (sic) of American society."

The disgraced vice president said he had become "financially disabled" and "I do not have any resources left to continue the fight and they are near to attaining their objective to silence me."

Agnew offered a money-laundering scheme that would allow him to reap $200,000 a year for the next three years, enough for him to "mount a counter-offensive" against the Zionists.

"What I propose is to request from Your Highness a three year, interest free loan - in the amount of two million dollars.

The loans would be made to Agea Management and Investment Company, a Leichtenstein corporation owned by trusted friends.

I would have the use of the interest from the loan for three years.

The entire principal would be returned after the three years.

The company would pay me the interest as consulting fees, which would have no connection with Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. would not be able to embarrass or investigate in any way because the Swiss laws of secrecy would prevent any inquiry beyond my legal receipt of the interest as consulting fees."

If Prince Fahd didn't like that route, Agnew said he was open to "any other idea that would give me about 200 thousand dollars a year for the next three years."

"I do so want to continue my fight against the Zionist enemies who are destroying my once great nation and impeding the peace efforts in the entire middle east," Agnew wrote.

Agnew then offered "my services" as a direct informal contact with Ronald Reagan, who was then three months away from being elected president.

"This contact should be made prior to the election, if it is to be most fruitful.

Reagan and I are good friends, and his wife, Nancy is a good friend of my wife and me.

She has an impact on his thinking."

"Should Reagan be elected, it is entirely possible that I will be given a quiet O.K. to do some secret diplomacy.

He respects my knowledge of foreign policy, and my five years of experience in the middle east and Asia.

Although he has had great Zionist pressure on him, his (sic) is a fair-minded person who can be educated to the true facts."

He closed by offering his congratulations for Prince Fahd's declaration of a holy war on Israel.

Prince Fahd apparently granted Agnew's wish.

Agnew sent him a "thank you" letter on September 16, 1980.

"It is difficult for me to find the right word to adequately express my gratitude for the prompt response from Your Highness to my urgent communication left in Taif.

When one is under steady attack from relentless enemies and false friends turn aside, one learns the rarity and value of true friends.

That Your Highness, despite enormous pressures on him, has the compassion and can take the time to assist an old friend in time of crisis is evidence that the true spirit of Islam is not only preached but practiced by the Saudi Royal Family."

Agnew's private papers also include a reply from Prince Fahd.

"It is indeed my pleasure to express to you my gratitude for the sincere and friendly feelings you have shown," Prince Fahd wrote.

"I truly appreciate your genuine concern in enhancing the cordial relations that exist between us, and which we strive for its further development with our sincere friends."

Eight years later, he got a boost from Vice President George H.W. Bush, who was weeks away from being elected president when he sent a letter to King Fahd on Agnew's behalf.

Dr. Salim Yaqub, a University of California-Santa Barbara history professor, explored Agnew's business dealings with the Saudis in his just-published book Imperfect Strangers: Americans and Arabs in the 1970s.

"In a nutshell, from 1974 on he ran an international consulting firm devoted to helping companies win contracts with foreign governments," Dr. Yaqub told Lead Stories.

"Although I believe Agnew was sincere in opposing Israeli policies, he tried to turn those views to his own business advantage.

In 1976, he encouraged the Saudi government to reward his anti-Israeli efforts by funding them directly and by awarding contracts to his clients."

Yaqub said the newly-found Agnew letters were "considerably more urgent" than earlier correspondence with the Saudis that he found while researching his book.
